going barefoot is no longer....bearable.

the life it pulls my back
like nothing ever
pulled before.
and the weather changes
now like it has ever
changed before
the cold sweeps in
the space is thin
through windows
vents
and doors...
it rolls around
and makes a sound
like never heard before.

The sun in winking
slowly shrinking
off to something more
the irritating
cold is waiting
feet
to meet
the floor.
